Nice chunky coppers the last few days!

Undated (1485) 2 patards of the Duchy of Brabant. I know we are trying to get more discerning abut whether these "emission" dates reflect minting in the actual year of the emission, so I will withold some of my earlier Holland coins on this round of HFB, but in this case Philip the Fair of Brabant (or more realistically, Maximilian who was regent during his minority) was striking new types almost every year, so I believe this one is pretty solid.

1483 (1st half) undated Florence grosso, mintmaster Cante di Giovanni di Cante Compagni MIR 62/44. This is next earliest grosso type. John has an older style beaded halo and a scroll with the word ECCE hanging from his right arm.
